Great to meet you!

My name is Shanese Williams, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and the District of Columbia. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of the District of Columbia and a Master’s in Social Work from Catholic University. My practice provides supportive, compassionate therapy for both children and adults facing life’s challenges, whether they be daily stressors, life transitions, school or workplace burnout, or other personal hurdles.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and holistic principles. This blend of evidence-based techniques with a whole-person focus helps clients manage stress, navigate life transitions, and foster growth.

My holistic approach addresses physical, emotional, and social well-being, encouraging self-care and lifestyle exploration.

What you can expect from me

I am passionate about helping each individual unlock their unique potential and move toward a fulfilling, empowered life. Together, we can work toward embracing opportunities and living more fully aligned with your goals and values.
